Juventus make contact for Barcelona's Yaya Toure

The 25-year-old is reportedly unhappy at Barcelona after a series of rows with Coach Josep Guardiola and could be keen for a fresh start.

According to Tuttosport, Bianconeri sporting director Alessio Secco has approached Toure's agent with a five-year contract worth around £3m per year.

Director Jean-Claude Blanc has admitted that the Old Lady will consider returning to the market in the New Year after a disappointing start to the season, but much depends on how Juve perform before Christmas.
